How to Open a Volkswagen Golf Car Key to Replace the Battery?

To open a Volkswagen Golf car key for battery replacement: The battery is located at the rear side under the key cover. Flip the key head and use a suitable tool (such as a coin) to remove the rear cover in the direction of the arrow. Then, use an appropriate flat tool to pry the battery out of the battery compartment. The Volkswagen Golf is a model under FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4199mm in length, 1786mm in width, and 1479mm in height. The Golf incorporates many configurations and design standards typically found in higher-end models, such as a multifunctional electric sunroof, a three-spoke genuine leather multifunctional steering wheel, and advanced noise reduction and soundproofing designs.
Last time when I replaced the battery for my Golf 7's key, I found that a T6 Torx screwdriver was needed to unscrew the small screw on the back. The silver metal logo on the side of the key is a hidden latch, which requires prying open with a fingernail or a thin card from the gap. Note that the black plastic cover inside has clips, so gently pry it open to reveal the battery. The old battery was a CR2032, with positive and negative markings—make sure not to install it backward. After installation, remember to press the key button to check if the red light turns on. Finally, align the casing and snap it shut with a click. Usually, avoid keeping the key with your phone, as electromagnetic interference drains the battery quickly.
